Golden Beet

55 days. This variety dates back to the 1820's or before. The beets are a rich, golden-yellow and very sweet. A beautiful beet that won’t bleed like red beets. The greens are also very tasty. A favorite of many.

Great flavor, easy to grow, they don't stain like regular beets and taste better. Make awesome Harvard beets and are fantastic roasted. They do not like summer, I tried planting for a second crop in July and they haven't even come up yet, but that's my fault. I'm trying again for fall/winter. I have limited space and a lot of plants but most of my garden space is dedicated to these now.

These beets grew much more slowly and were smaller than any other beet I've grown. They also produced less, but that being said, the taste and texture is great. They are slightly sweeter and much smoother. I pickled some of these and they are fantastic!

We grew these last year in one of the greenhouses and they got enormous! I couldn't even wrap both hands all the way around the smallest of them. I kind of expected them to be tough and bland, but they weren't at all. We roasted them whole, and though the outside turned a really unappetizing muddy yellow, when we cut them open they were an absolutely brilliant golden color, and the sweetest and most tender beets I have ever had. We're growing them again this year, but outside. Let's hope we have the same results!

I had really high hopes but they didn't fare to well in SW Florida. They took forever and I planted in January and it is now Apr and they are only about the size of golf balls. On the positive they are tasty little morsels.
